Day 1: The final straight

Our final break of the evening is over and we're into the last hour of play, so the PPT blog thought it about time for a quick rundown on some key fantasy poker players.

The biggest blow to entrant hopes across Denmark was the exit of Johnny Jensen, though his mum and reigning fantasy poker Susanne Jensen is above average on 43,000 chips.

Toni Merivuori is sitting at the same table and confessed to being outplayed by Susanne, as she slow-played QQ effectively to edge ahead of his 38,000 stack.

Gukmen Cetin, who features in poker$gyk and Janusthor 23's teams, is among the bigger stacks in the room on 80,000 despite insisting he had won only small pots along the way, and Portuguese player Hugo Almeida (pictured) has around 70,000 chips to work with.

Compatriot Paulo Calado is still going strong on 57,000 and Filipa Lemos has 29,000 after doubling up with KK vs AK, though her brother Antonio Lemos earlier headed for the exit.

Robert Haigh and David Pishvafar are battling on, though Robert admitted he could go either way in the last level of the night courtesy of his precarious 20,000 stack. David meanwhile is operating just shy of the average and confessed to bluffing too often!

A number of fantasy players have hit the rail throughout the evening, so here is a list of the fallen ones:

Bjarne Jensen
Thomas Dinesen
Kasper Espersen
Tommy Dender
Daniel Ferreira
Luis Rodrigues
Ronnie Espensen
Johnny Jensen
Antonio Lemos

Update - Gukmen Cetin goes from strength-to-strength, winning another sizeable pot with AA to hit 99,000 chips.
